Very busy day as 21/26 players made picks as the field went 13-8. As usual many of the games ended in dramatic fashion. On the winning side Eckersley continued his winning ways as the Royals won yet again.....in extra innings on a walk off single by Melky Cabrera. The Marlins extra inning win over the Nationals gave 6 more players a win. Texas and St. Louis earned hard fought wins for 4 more players.

Boston and the New York Yankees leveled defeats to 6 of the pool players. Once again Boston's offense was a no show and the Yankees $200 million dollar bullpen imploded wasting a stellar performance by CC.

7 of the top 8 in the standings won their games yesterday. The Reds spotted the lowly Astros a 4-0 1st inning lead before scoring 12 straight runs. Eckersley, Lead Pipe and others rode the Reds to an easy win. Tim Lincecum and Justin Verlander had easy nights, making 5 more players very happy.

The big losers of the day took the inept Cardinals. Their offense is one notch better than the Tampa Bay Rays. Those who have the "under" on the Cardinals for total wins are locks to collect.

A bunch of afternoon games, with Halladay being the heavy favorite of the day.
